The rich convinced us that taxing them is too complicated but everyday people can be taxed pretty easily

Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Lol! You have zero clue. I'm close to the opposite of the on line spectrum. I learned how to be informed in the old days, when we were taught his to read and research.
When I don't know something, I look it up. In discussion forums, I read the other comments before making my own, usually. If someone tells me I'm wrong, I go see what shows up elsewhere on the topic. Most importantly, I'm not immediately condescending or insulting.
Research /= googling
Okay, I'll bite. Other than going to a full-featured library, or contacting the nearest university with expertise on the desired topic, what does count as research for a layperson?
Other than...getting an expert opinion or reading the research material they published? You excluded research to ask me what research is
Oooooh, I miss understood thought you were asking me what research is. You wanted me to do the work for you. Yeah, no. If you are older than 12, you should already know how to do that. If you don't care enough to do it, that's on you. I did.
